'Ghanaian President' in disguise takes traffic officers to task
Would you recognise the President if you saw him out in public in an elaborate disguise? These traffic officers didn't.
If you are a citizen of a country, you know what your president looks like. Seeing them on TV and in the papers all the time means that there is no chance that you could forget their faces, or mistake them for someone else.
But what if your President caught you off-guard one day? They decide to conduct an undercover visit to your place of work, just to check that everything is going okay?

That's what happened to traffic officials in Ghana recently when they discovered that they had asked the wrong man for a bribe:

The man in the video is said to be the current President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo. He is berating the officers for asking for bribes instead of doing their jobs properly.
How's that for a memorable Monday at work?
There is no confirmation on the President's official Twitter account or the official account of the Presidency about whether the man in the video is really Nana Akufo-Addo. However, this is still a great example of what political leaders can do to shake up corrupt systems.
